In his speech at Frederick the oth1r night
Senator German said "the canal was bankrupt and
ought to be Sold" Well, if it is bankrupt we
should like to know who is responsible for it. 1t
has been in the hands of the Democratic party for
nearly twenty five years, with German himself at
the head of it for at least part of that time, and
it is therefore not at all strange that it is bank
rupt. The canal, while Gen. James G. Clarke was
president of it, did large and paying business,
but when German got through with it it was in a
deplorabIe condition. Now he wants to sell it in
order that it may be bought up by railroad COM
pany in which he is alleged to be interested, and
if the new convention scheme goes through next
Tuesday this is of the things that will surely
follow. Vote against Convention" and thus
show your condemnation of the people who bank
rupted the canal.

@>In his speech at the Republican meeting
in the Court House, Towsontown, Gen. King said
"the Democratic party in Maryland is a close cor
poration. No young man in Maryland can aspire
to political honor unless he will grovel at the feet
of the ring. 1t is REFRESHING the manhood of the
State" This is as true as holy writ and the
young men of Maryland should remember it on
Tuesday next. You who will cast your first vote
on that day should show your independence and
manhood by throwing it against these corrupt
political managers who thus degrade you.

What the Baltimore Election Revealed.

BaLhmOre0n, Democrat.
The election revealed something altogether new,
and that was the introduction of repeaters by the
Reform managers. That this was a ruse one
who possesses the slightest modicum of intelli-
gence, whether he be Reformer, or opposed to a
change will for one moment believe. As evil
dence that the scheme concocted not one of
the more than 100 who were arrested the charge,
were permitted to remain in confinement a single
day after the polls had closed. They were ar
raigned Thursday morning and confronted before
their accusers. Not scintilla of evidence was
offered to prove that they were in any manner
connected with fraudulent voting, or had the re-
hottest intention of committing that or any other
crime. The magistrate at once discharged every
man of them, and in body they left the station
house.

~ 1t is generally conceded that Gen. Latrobe
is a stronger man in Baltimore than Mr.. Jackson
is, and also that Mr.. Brooks will poll heavier
vote than Mr.. Bartlett did for Mayor. This being
the case it is safe to predict that Mr.. Jackson's
majority in Baltimore next Tuesday will be con-
siderably smaller than Gen. Latrobe's was, unless
the old methods of returning the vote are again
rcsorted to. If the wholesale frauds of 1875,
which elected John Lee Carroll are repeated, Mr..
Jacksons majority cannot be estimated, but il the
election is passably fair one, he will not get the
vote that Gen. Latrobe did last week.

for consultation all who feel an interest in pub
lie and personal hygiene, and who desire to diff
fuse among the people such information as may
secure exemption from avoidable causes of dis
ease" Those who attend the conference can Sc

rs This week the air has been full of rumor:
of trades that being made in some districts on
many of the local candidates and if the schemes
have been put up, and do not miscarry, somebody
may be hurt. But, generally speaking, very lit
tie good results from these "swaps" and they will
not likely be carried to such extent to effect
county on the same candidates the outcome would
be different.

@g- Hon. Francis Miller, Republican nominee
for Attorney General, in speech delivered in Bal
timore few days ago, said: "When the end for
which we are now striving has been accomplished,
the Republicans and Independents can honestly
shake hands and congratulate each other upon the
work that has been done, and we'll done. They
can part there, to meet in opposition next year
upon national issues. These reforms having been
accomplished, new era of good feeling and hon.
orable competition between the national parties
will set in, such as has not been known in this
State for years."

nominee for Associate Judge of the Third Judi

record-a sober, upright and honorable man in

and no man will make mistake in voting for him.

1- Senator German, the Democratic boss of
Maryland, and the man who nominated the men
that Democrats are expected to vote for next
Tuesday, has been in one Government Office or
another nearly all his life and yet he has the
brazen effrontery to call Republicans, who do not
approve of his methods, "hungry dogs" They,
with the men in his own party who are sick and
tired of his bossing are "hungry" for his scalp,

ticket are such that every man can vote for them
with the full consciousness that they are capable
and honest. Messrs. Woollen, Croft, Fultz, Bond,
Hicks, Gorsucb, Emory and the others are all we'll
known and esteemed citizens that the people can
make no mistake in honoring with their votes
The names of Whitelock, Hooper and Kurtz would
be credit to any ticket and every man who wants
true, honorable and competent men in the Legis-
lature can make no mistake in casting his vote

Ms>The Prohibitionists of Baltimore county
have good ticket and are making gallant fight
for it, but what good will it avail them? The
most level-headed among them are only claiming
one thousand votes in the county, and we do not
think the ticket will poll even that many. So it
is plain that man who casts his ballot for that
party is simply throwing his vote away. Repub-
lican Prohibitionists should remember this and
cast their votes accordingly

When it was necessary to change the re-

this and other similar work Mr.. Higgins is reward

@-f the Democratic ticket in Baltimore
county should be elected and the new constitu-
ton scheme carries in the State, the chances are
that those who get the Offices will not have the
pleasure Of filing out the term for which they
were elected, as new constitution would legslate
them out of Office. Therefore it is to the interest
ofthese candidates to poll every vote they can

election in Baltimore last week the polls in up
town wards, where it is very unusual for any dis
turbances to occur, protected by three police

of only one officer was thought necessary. 1t

VIM. II. RUBY, EsQ.-Dear Sir In your paper
of this week, in commenting upon the Indepen-
dent meeting held in the Court House on Tuesday
night last, you make use of the following Ian
guage: "Mr. Grason made some wild statements
as to the number of cases (116) States Attorney
Burke was alleged to have stetted in four years.
Inquiry reveals the fact that the number of cases.
all told, do not pass CO." My statement was that
Mr.. Burke had stetted and nolle pressed 116 cases
involving violation of the liquor laws, at cost
of nearly $500 to the taxpayers of the county
This assertion was based upon a carefully pre-
pared statement taken from the criminal dockets
of our court, which statement was prepared by Mr.
Thos. J. Hunter, member of the bar, at the in
stance and request of Mr.. Robert j. Magruder, of
the Sd district. This statement have in my pos
session, which speaks for itself, and you seem
to think 1 have done Mr.. Burke an injury, will
cheerfuly furnish you with a correct copy thereof
for publication should you desire it. The public
then judge for itself to the truth or falsity
of the charge made by me. Mr.. Bruno, whom you
profess to quote, was not within ten miles of the
meeting. Respectfully, &C., W. GRAsoN.
